Jeff just released a new dev diary for July. Apparently the Summer Games have been bumped up in time to be sooner, will include special skin events (like the Baptiste, Ana, and DVa challenges during the last year). But the new hero normally released before the Summer event is instead bumped backward and will come sometime later this year.
Did I miss summarizing anything from that message from Jeff?
Do you think I should make my own topic or is this something that will never change. I really don’t understand why this is not in the game.
You are welcome to start your own topic to provide suggestive feedback. I also can’t say if they will ever make any tweaks to the crosshair settings, but I would note that any changes are not likely to happen soon based on what the greater needs of the game are.
Y’all gonna give pharah some love already? 
someone’s got their work cut out for them 
Godspeed.
I am waiting for more dust to settle, it won’t be too bad. That being said I have a separate thread right now to try and organize overall Q&A for the new features.
Yeah, That guy needs something for his time. I’d say that keeping this place on par for the course, he should be given a “red phone” to the Blizzard NOC and Jeff’s office desk. 
+1 if you agree!
Back filling is never going to be a fun process as long as ragers leave games. This has less to do with Lucio Ball quality than it has to do with the mentality of all these accursed rage quitting leavers and the equally horrible toxic trash talkers on match chat.
Put it simply this community is full of immature people and it makes the game at times unfun.
But all of that is beside the point. What does any of that have to do with the topic you posted your rant into?
Hey Wyoming, i have a question.
The recent changes that are done to Brigitte to make her fit in to the 2-2-2 role lock means are we in trial and error phase? Because in ptr right now she is not useful. Everything she can do there is another support can do better. She brings nothing new to the table utility wise and her effective heal dictates that she has to be in the frontlines all the while getting her effective HP reduced by 300 and her self healing reduced by 50% and the fact that she no longer has any burst heal.
I really want to know will there be a second phase to this Ptr or is it already set in stone and we left with a character that designed for the frontlines but that ability had been neutered over the course of 9 months and finalized with this rework. All the while her effective heal is still dependent on inspire which requires her to be in harms way, her teammates be in the harms way to heal effectively. Let’s not kid ourselves that armor pack is another option because it is not.
So all i am asking will there be future updates to the character that actually completely rework her into a backline healer or make her into what it supposed to be which is frontline brawler support. Because right now, with the previous armor and barrier potency nerfs, the 200 shield hp with over time heals on the armor pack is not worth for teammates nor for her to be in the frontlines for consistent heals neither in the midline where there are much better options in the support category that can more effective.
Also i do have some ideas on the rework, now i am not trying to do your job for you, but i do have to admit the ptr brigitte is not useful in none of the maps, in none of the situations. For her to be relying on whip shot to activate the inspire is not consistent when you consider there are supports out there can do more consistent healing much faster all the while providing utility. Anyway, i want to know this because i am honestly tried of beating a dead horse or hoping for something that is not going to happen. Please if you do not have any certain and final answer do not bother with vague public relation statement because at this point i am full of it. Thanks in advance.
There’s lots of Brig chatter around these parts. I’m wondering how she’s actually performing compared to other healers on the PTR. I have 40-60 minutes on the PTR for Moira, Brig, Zen, and Baptiste. I only have ~30 minutes on Lucio, but I threw him in anyway (I play a lot of Lucio, so it’s probably close enough).
That’s a small sample size, but it’s going to have to be good enough… There’s only so many games I can throw by picking Brig before I fall into despair.
Here’s where I’m at in the Role Queue Beta mode:
| Healer | Damage/10min | Healing/10min | Deaths/Game | Blocked/10min | Inspire Uptime |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moira | 4.3K | 10.2K | 6.4 | - | - |
| Bappy | 4.6K | 7.3K | 7.1 | - | - |
| Lucio | 4.4K | 8.8K | 6.6 | - | - |
| Zen | 6.2K | 5.6K | 6.0 | - | - |
| Brig | 2.2K | 6.8K | 8.3 | 2.0K | 17% |
Brig’s stats look pretty bad for me. I’m a trash Baptiste, and he’s outperforming her pretty much across the board. Lucio just wrecks her in the off-healer role. And both have more utility, which isn’t factored in here, except for Brig’s Damage Blocked stat.
The Moira buff didn’t really seem to change much for me. It’s certainly nice, but the impact seems minor.
How about you? I’ve seen a lot of Mercy and Ana on the PTR, but I haven’t played them. Skill obviously has a big impact on these stats, so I’m really just interested in comparing stats within players for those who have played both Brig and another healer on the PTR. And maybe someone who can actually hit things with Baptiste…
Edit: Format. Added Zen. From another post show some love to the creator.
So if we please stop assuming whipshoting from the backline to proc inspire is a good idea. I would be so happy.
Hello everyone, all posts and released content from the last few day are caught up! Thanks everyone for your patience.

Sigma’s bare feet are to draw on the old media trope about people in insane asylums.
go Myst go!! 
btw, couldn’t find the last heard news on the “3rd social feature”
afaik this was the last heard news 10 months ago
Michael Chu left the smallest of lore bits in the Story Discussion forum yesterday about Pharah:
I also got the upfront developer video update that specifically talks about Sigma up in the directory as well.
Sigma isn’t mentally ill.
With 2-2-2 live why are t they trying to extinguish some of the fires? The forums are blazing.
Define “fires”.
Most of the technical issues had occurred earlier today have already been resolved.
The usual forum bickering.
So many screaming 2-2-2 will kill the game and equal number of people saying it’s the best thing since Diablo immortal. It’s a very toxic mess.
